A lightweight, high-performance distributed task queue system built in Go with Pogocache.
Schedule, execute, and monitor background jobs across multiple worker nodes with blazing-fast speed and minimal resource usage.
Nexq uses Pogocache instead of traditional caching solutions because:
- Faster: Lower latency per request than Redis, Memcache, Valkey, and others
- More Efficient: Uses fewer CPU cycles, reducing server costs and energy usage
- Better Scaling: Optimized for both single-threaded and multi-threaded performance
- Protocol Compatible: Supports Redis wire protocol, making migration seamless
- Distributed Processing: Scale horizontally by adding more worker nodes
- Priority Queues: High, normal, and low priority task execution
- Scheduled Tasks: Delay task execution or schedule for future processing
- Automatic Retries: Configurable retry logic with exponential backoff
- Real-time Dashboard: Monitor task status and worker activity through a clean web interface
- RESTful API: Simple HTTP API using Go's standard
net/httppackage - Multiple Task Types: Register custom handlers for different job types
- Pogocache-Backed: Ultra-fast caching with lower latency and better CPU efficiency than Redis
- Zero Dependencies: Minimal external dependencies, uses Go standard library where possible
- Go 1.25.3 or higher
- Docker (recommended)
- Pogocache server running locally or remotely
